The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Electrical)/Bachelor of Business combined degree program provides students with an opportunity to undertake concurrent study in electrical engineering and business and complete two awards. In general, a combined degree program offers greater breadth of learning, enhancing the academic and professional qualities gained in each separate degree. At the same time, it recognises the increasing need for students to graduate with multidisciplinary skills. This wide-ranging program includes study of diverse aspects of power generation and distribution, telecommunicaitons, signal processing and analogue and digital electronics whilst also providing the skills for work in many areas of business, and the opportunity to progress in a business management career.

Electrical engineering is a professional career that utilises mathematics, science, technology and problem solving skills to design, construct and maintain the products and services that underpin modern society. Electrical engineering is the major area of expertise behind control and automation, telecommunications, signal processing, analogue and digital electronics and power generation and distribution. It is also vital in new and emerging fields such as nano-technology, robotics and renewable energy.

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Computer)/Bachelor of Science - Physics Major provides students with an opportunity to undertake concurrent study in computer engineering and physics and complete two awards. In general, a combined degree program offers greater breadth of learning, enhancing the academic and professional qualities gained in each separate degree. At the same time, it recognises the increasing need for students to graduate with multidisciplinary skills. Students have the opportunity to select electives according to their individual areas of interest and will also have the opportunity to undertake an industry related project in their final year of study in the engineering degree. Students are also required to complete 12 weeks of industrial experience throughout the program.

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)(Computer)/Bachelor of Computer Science combined degree program provides students with an opportunity to undertake concurrent study and complete two awards. In general, it offers greater breadth of learning, enhancing the academic and professional qualities gained in each separate degree. At the same time, it recognises the increasing need for students to graduate with multidisciplinary skills.Students have the opportunity to select directed courses according to their individual areas of interest and will also have the opportunity to undertake an industry related project in their final year of study in the engineering degree. Students are required to complete 12 weeks of industrial experience throughout the program.Students may only undertake a major in Computer Science and Robotics within this combined program (as part of the Bachelor of Computer Science).

Computer engineering is a major part of the information and communication technologies (ICT) sector, which is bringing evolutionary changes in our societies, entertainment systems and industrial applications. Computer engineers can design and develop applications as diverse as aircraft control systems to high tech toys such as Playstation (TM) or the Xbox (TM). Many students find employment in their respective professional organisations before completing their degree.

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Civil)/Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Environmental) provides students with an opportunity to undertake concurrent study in two areas of engineering and complete two awards. In general, this combined degree program offers greater breadth of learning, enhancing the academic and professional qualities gained in each separate degree. At the same time, it recognises the increasing need for students to graduate with multidisciplinary skills. Students develop skills in the design and building of large scale projects such as roads, bridges, airports, major buildings and water supply systems whilst also gaining skills to assess and model the potential damage and long-term environmental problems resulting from human activity and, importantly, devise environmentally sustainable and economic solutions.

The civil engineer's job is to solve problems relating to the infrastructure of modern society, and to consider the environmental impact, efficiency and cost effectiveness of this infrastructure. For example, civil engineers may be involved in establishing whether or not a building design is safe, or may inspect and analyse a dam wall to see if it is structurally sound. Civil engineers enjoy excellent career prospects as they are involved in so many facets of everyday life and its associated infrastructure.
